It may be unethical to pull emails from ARIN listings but their sales guys have a job to do and quotas to meet.

There is no excuse for spamming. Ever.

Also, just because you don't like their sales process doesn't mean their network is bad.

It actually does. They provide service to anyone regardless of how unethical or illegal the business is. By doing so, 
they provoke congestions at points they they refuse to upgrade hoping to milk both sides.
If you get transit from Cogent, you may end up being on the same side as an oversubcribed link as crooks such as 
Megaupload and get degraded service for your customers.
